Gardens of Palazzo Borghese
by alza
The Palazzo Borghese was built to celebrate the power and glory of the papacy in the heart of Old Rome. Its design if called cembalo because it resembles a grand piano.
I took these photos a long time ago, I've forgotten the Palazzo but not the Gardens and the old books and prints along largo Fontanella di Borghese. That time in Rome, I met an American called Bruce at Piazza di Spagna and we spent the afternoon walking around the gardens. There was a dog show, as you can see.
Crossing the road
by illumina
I know everyone has said it before, but it's true - if you want to cross the road in Rome, you pretty much have to ignore the cars, and just step out. If you don't look at them, they will stop. I'd say it's best to peek out of the corner of your eye; if there's something coming at 70 miles an hour, it's probably best not to step out right in front of it! (there's usually so much traffic that there aren't many places the cars are that fast). Cars actually aren't so bad, it was the scooters that we found the most dangerous - as soon as you're out of their direct line, they'll whizz around behind you, missing you by inches.

Pasta Plenty
by sandysmith about Osteria Rugantino
The first pasta course dishes were the more plentiful. The mushroom canneloni, seafood lasange and various other pastas were all tasty and hot. There was set menu choice for meat dishes - I had steak one night and buffalo tail stew another - and also a seafood menu - for example pasta with shrimp and lemon, as well as a la carte choices. All looked (I always love to see what other people are eating too!) tasty and plentiful. It went down very well with the local house red which was a chianti.
